Warner is Well Satisfied With the Action of Congress. “How did the department of charities fare at the first session of the Fifty-second Con- gress?” asked a Stam reporter of the superin- tendent of charities for the District. “Well enough, all things considered,” was the prompt enswer. “When called on for specifi- cations,” he added, ‘‘definite efforts were made | tosecure three new institutions: (1) an appro- priation for the reform school for girls, (2) municipal lodging house, (8) « board of children's guardians backed by new legislation regarding the care of dependent children.

Another ting which was done without saying ‘by your leave’ to anybody con- nected with trict government was the adoption of an order in the sundry civil bill that hereafter the provision for the Freedman’s Hospital shali be made in the District appro- Erigtion bill, with the result, of course, that if the expense intaining it will come from the District taxpayers. “Tux Stan has kept ite readers informed of the general character of most of the legislation | Thave referred to.

They can be referred to the lodging house to earn a living until their cases, by correspondence and otherwise, can be thoroughly ayes sarees means provided for sending them to their former homes if they have them. Women applicants can be referred to one or another of the private subsidized in- stitutions. “The board of children’s rdians has been 7am, a8 well as my treated of at length in Tux Teasons for favoring it. Through it I hope that the entire department of child-saving work in the District, so far as it is dependent upon pub- lie appropriations, may be reorganized and put @ more business-like basis; that the various institutions will appear before this board as contractors, instead of appearing, as heretofore, before the con, committees as rs,and that each will in consequence receive public money in proportion, and in proportion only, to the amount of public ser- vice rendered. either “st will not be taken to — one eg new institutions until those inter- ested in similar work in the District have been conferred with.” “When will your annual report be ready?” “Hardly before the Ist-of October, though the statistical statements regarding the finances and work of the several institutions are = tically complete. I should be glad if those interested in any given institution would call sure that no mistakes have been made either on their part or mine. “What is the next thing to be moved for?”* “The establishment of @ District board of charities and corrections and the abolition of the office I now hold.” a A Section Man Fatally Injured.

The first rally of the democracy of the sixth congressional district at Kensington on Friday night last has since been the subject of consid- erable comment here. The addresses made by the several gentlemen on that occasion have been pronounced as excellent in their sub- stance and manner with the exception of the rambling tirade of one James F. Brown, which has been severely criticised, and by none more severly than by ex-confederate soldiers, many of whom reside here andas a rule vote the democratic ticket. They say if he is a speci- men of the District democratic politician he had better confine his missionary work to other fields than the sixth district, where he is cer- tainly not appreciated, ‘and where such harangues do vastly more harm than good.
